It is a diversion dedicated to the Creator and a way of making decisions for the people.<br \/>Players in two teams (one on each side of the Town Hall) take turns shaking a flat-bottomed wooden bowl containing peach pits and then emptying it onto the ground or onto a platform.<\/p>\n\n<p>During the mid-winter ceremony, each of the two teams is made up of clans (bear, wolf, turtle, etc.) that face each other. During the planting ceremony, the men play against the women, and the winning team will not have to plant that season.<\/p>\n\n<p>The game is inspired by the story of creation <a href=\"https:\/\/mythslegendes.com\/en\/mythes-et-legendes-iroquois-2144\/\">iroquois<\/a>, recreates the struggle for dominance of the first men on earth between the twins <em>&quot;New Growth&quot;<\/em> and &quot;\u00a0<em>Flint<\/em>\u201c, one of them being good and the other bad. It is a game of chance considered sacred, played only in honor of the Creator. The message sent to them is one of gratitude for what they have and willingness to share.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/img.over-blog-kiwi.com\/0\/56\/62\/66\/20190114\/ob_f78571_cuenco.png\" alt=\"game with iroquois peach pits\" width=\"100\" height=\"64\" title=\"\"><\/figure>\n\n<p>\u00a0<em>In the bowl there are six peach pits which are blackened on one side<\/em><\/p>\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_82_2 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseprofile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/mythslegendes.com\/en\/iroquois-mythology-confederation\/game-with-fishing-pits\/#Le-jeu-avec-des-noyaux-de-peche\" >The game with peach pits<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Le-jeu-avec-des-noyaux-de-peche\"><\/span><strong>The game with peach pits<br \/><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n<p>Between the players are placed the 100 beans that will be contested.
